the thought police are watching. I always thought a pu$$y was a cat.....but obvioulsy it has sinister overtones.

It could be used in a threating manner. For example, accusing someone of being timid. :) or even meek

ed073 05-31-05 11:12 PM

that would really ruin someone's day, we should make sure that doesn't happen - what kind of society do we live in ??? :)

I just can't imagine the backlash of a show like Rove Live in the USA when they had all those blokes doing the naked run for the undies promotion, full frontal nude blokes by the hundreds. It would never get shown over there.

On that note, (somewhat) did anyone else watch Acid House last night? Nothing like Trainspotting. They had to use subtitles, because they all talk with their thick Scottish accents, and yew kin beerly enderstend the fookin konts. If I typed a sample line word for word, it would look something like this "You **** ****** *** ****!"

climbo 06-01-05 03:51 PM

aaah ****, on what, SBS? Didn't know it was on. Bugger !

Yep.

Acid House is one weird movie. Pretty depressing, really. Scottish housing commision flats have lost their allure.

well its nice to see that the human cueball has managed to cut funding for bike initiatives in NSW.... so i guess all the noise about promoting bike paths and safer commuting in sydney was just hot air :(

Costa??

He's an A-grade ass-clown. How he still has a job up there I have no idea.

climbo 06-01-05 06:09 PM

gotta pay for all those road tunnels somehow :( ass-clown - LOL.

ed073 06-01-05 06:15 PM

didn't he get his arse kicked over that school shooting a few years back when he was police minister or something?? Came out in a press conference with something that was completely untrue??

HDTVKSS 06-01-05 06:17 PM

but honestly, has he ever touched anything that hasnt turned baby poo brown?

a relative of mine works with middle management in the railways and has some interesting stories to tell....

climbo 06-01-05 06:46 PM

what did he cut? I mean, how many hundreds of dollars WAS he going to spend, and on what?

Thylacine 06-01-05 06:51 PM

Sydney - it's why Melbourne was invented. :D

Memories....the smell of pish, bevvy, and glue (probably dropped syringes in modern times!)

I'd like to see a survivor series there !

climbo 06-01-05 08:14 PM

YAY !!!!

Trenton Titans just won the Kelly Cup. i.e. the Grand Final.

That's hockey boys, and my "home" team.

:D:D:D:D

havent got a web link, but its in the SMH and has been on JJJ news as well with the greens moaning about it as well.

now that i open my eyes here it is http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/...568262335.html

jock 06-01-05 09:57 PM

Thanks.

I can't see why there's such a big hullabaloo. Even if funding remained at $15M that's still peanuts compared to what's required. It might be enough build a couple of short cycleways here and there, but it isn't going to scratch the surface is it? I bet they spend millions on stupid (ie. non-infrastructure) items like the annual Cycle Sydney ride :eek:
